Always make those above you feel comfortably superior. If you desire to please and impress them, do not go too far in displaying your talents or you might accomplish the opposite -inspre fear and insecurity.Make you masters appear more brilliant than they are and you will attain the heights of power

Those who make a show or display of innocence are the least innocent of all.

Remember!

NEVER PUT TOO MUCH TRUST IN FRIENDS, LEARN HOW TO USE YOUR ENEMIES.Be wary of friends- they will betray you more quickly, for they are easily aroused to envy. But hire a former enemy and he will be more loyal than a friend, because he has more to prove. In fact,you have more to fear from friends than from enemies. If you have no enemies find a way to make them

Lord, protect me from my friends; I can take care of my enemies.

Pick up a bee from kindness, and learn the limitations of kindness.

Keep people off balance and in the dark by never revealing the purpose behind your actions. If they have no clue of what you are up to,they cannot prepare a defence. Guide them far enough down the wrong path, envelope them in enough smoke, and by the time they will realise your intentions, it will be too late.

LAW 3: CONCEAL YOUR INTENTIONS

Amoral, cunning, ruthless, and instructive, this multi-million-copy New York Times bestseller is the definitive manual for anyone interested in gaining, observing, or defending against ultimate control – from the author of The Laws of Human Nature. In the book that People magazine proclaimed “beguiling” and “fascinating,” Robert Greene and Joost Elffers have distilled three thousand years of the history of power into 48 essential laws by drawing from the philosophies of Machiavelli, Sun Tzu, and Carl Von Clausewitz and also from the lives of figures ranging from Henry Kissinger to P.T. Barnum.   Some laws teach the need for prudence (“Law 1: Never Outshine the Master”), others teach the value of confidence (“Law 28: Enter Action with Boldness”), and many recommend absolute self-preservation (“Law 15: Crush Your Enemy Totally”). Every law, though, has one thing in common: an interest in total domination. In a bold and arresting two-color package, The 48 Laws of Power is ideal whether your aim is conquest, self-defense, or simply to understand the rules of the game.

Understand yourself and those around you.

The 48 Laws of Power

Our brains are great at coming up with new ideas but have a tough time storing the AMPLE amount of old knowledge. Think about how much information you are exposed to throughout the course of your day, especially on your phone!! Offloading that information onto a secondary system makes organization and retrieval of that information much more efficient. Also, it ensures you never lose valuable information

Second Brain

Explain your understanding of the material as if you were speaking to a fifth grader. As you try to simplify the concepts, you will likely expose gaps in knowledge that you can focus on for future revision sessions! Also, this is great practice as higher education professional work places will require you to communicate your work clearly to an audience that may be unfamiliar with the information!

Feynman Technique

Naturally as humans we have a tendency to forget A LOT of information very rapidly. Spacing out your revisions appropriately allows you to enhance long-term retention increase efficiency as you won't need to study as long in each subsequent session.

Spaced Repetition

One of my favorite ways to practice FREELY recalling information in order to optimize for comprehension long term retention. First open up your textbook or lecture and get familiar with a specific section of the material. Then close the source and write everything you can remember on a blank sheet of paper. Then open the source again and compare it, while also filling in any knowledge gaps and making necessary corrections. Each iteration you do will allow you to retain more information!

Blurting Method

Avoid the traditional blocked practice for your revisions and opt for the more effective interleaved practice! Mixing up the types of questions and even modes of learning helps you maintain greater focus and concentration retain more information by creating contextual interference + simulating a more accurate representation of a testing environment.

Every study system needs a good method for overcoming procrastination. This method involves you breaking work down into much more manageable 25 minute intervals. Once you overcome the initial friction point, you will build momentum making each subsequent pomodoro easier to complete!

Effective & Practical Study Tips (for students like me)

"When you have eliminated every other possibilities , then whatever remains, even if it's improbable, must be the truth." "Sherlock Holmes"

The Power Of Eliminating"

"First things first" When you see something that something odds, do you even observe?? "Yes i observe".... No I mean literally observe not just seeing Because Sherlock Holmes said to his assistant Dr. John Watson, "You see but you do not observe".For example, When you are having a conversation to your friend, you might hear the words being spoken, but not observe body language, tone of voice, or non-verbal cues that might have special meaning.

Observe Everything Like Your Life Depends On It

"Pay attention"Clear your minds and don't distract on the present moment. This will help you to be more aware of your surroundings and notice things that you might miss. You need to train your eyes to notice the small details that often go unnoticed. Look your friend what kind of clothes his wearing, the accessory, his facial expressions, if you are seeing some kind of stress eyes so you might do something he/she will like in order to relieve some stress that can develop your relationship to them. So Be present, use senses, observe actively, take time, change perspective, and notice patterns.

Tips Of Observation

Sherlock use the method by "Eliminating the Possibilities" to deduce and solve the mystery so he can draw the conclusion what happen in the crime.Let's say for example. A man is found dead in his office. There is no sign of forced entry. The victim was stabbed. The investigators eliminate the possibility of a random robbery as nothing valuable seems to be missing. They also rule out a suicide as stabbing oneself in the back is highly unlikely. The only remaining possibility is that someone the victim knew had a motive to kill him and gained access to the office without causing a disturbance.

Deduction Reasoning

- Puzzles and Games: Engage in activities that challenge your brain, such as logic puzzles, strategy games, and crosswords. These exercises sharpen your deductive thinking and problem-solving abilities. - Mind Palace: This technique is involves creating a mental map of a familiar space and associating information with specific locations within it. It helps you remember details and recall information more easily. - Embrace Curiosity: Ask questions, research topics that interest you, and explore new areas of knowledge. This will broaden your perspective and make you a more well-rounded thinker.

How To Improve Your Skills In Deduction

“Education never ends, Watson. It is a series of lessons, with the greatest for the last.”

Becoming great detective like Sherlock Holmes is a process of continuous learning and refinement, not a sudden event. Embrace the journey of improvement."Be Patient" Becoming a master of deduction takes time and dedication. Don't expect to become Sherlock Holmes overnight. Practice consistently, and you'll gradually improve your skills. "Embrace Mistakes" Everyone makes mistakes, even Sherlock Holmes. Use your errors as learning opportunities. Analyze what went wrong and adjust your approach for next time.

Remember, "Process" Not Event

"Meditation It can be a valuable tool in the pursuit of skills of a great detective . It enhances focus, allowing for better observation of details. It cultivates calm, enabling clear thinking in complex situations. Developing self-awareness through meditation helps overcome biases. It also expands creativity and intuition. While not a substitute for practical skills, it complements them, aiding in approaching problems with an open mind. By regularly practicing meditation, one can improve their mental and emotional attributes, becoming more adept at solving problems and making deductions.

"Additional Tips To Help Your Mind Become Sharp"

To a great mind, nothing is little,' remarked Holmes, sententiously.

Become a great at solving mystery and investigate like Sherlock Holmes does...

Many people are so stressed out because they give f*cks about too many thingsMany of which are irrelevant. This books tells us to choose what to give a f*ck about and commit to it. This means rejecting anything that opposes itE.g if you decide that settling down is something to give a f*ck about, then you should reject things like partying and one night stands or flings

Why Life Is Hard

Good values shapes us and our behaviour.They are also the metrics by which we define concepts such as success. Having good values and metrics is important in living a good lifeE.g A person whose metric of success is being better at something than someone else wont find happiness or peace because they are constantly looking for the next thing to conquer while consistently comparing themselves to others

Ernst Becker in his famous book, the denial of death says there is our physical self and our conceptual selfThe physical self is the body, who eats, sleeps, drinks etcThe conceptual self is the idea of ourselvesWe know we are going to die and are terrified of it and in an attempt to not truly die, we embark on projects and try to imprint on the world, building hospitals, making discoveries, spending time with family and loved ones and stuff so even long after we're dead, we havent been forgotten and dont really die.And that's truly worth giving a fck about

#1 New York Times BestsellerOver 10 million copies soldIn this generation-defining self-help guide, a superstar blogger cuts through the crap to show us how to stop trying to be "positive" all the time so that we can truly become better, happier people.For decades, we’ve been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. "F**k positivity," Mark Manson says. "Let’s be honest, shit is f**ked and we have to live with it." In his wildly popular Internet blog, Manson doesn’t sugarcoat or equivocate. He tells it like it is—a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is his antidote to the coddling, let’s-all-feel-good mindset that has infected American society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up.Manson makes the argument, backed both by academic research and well-timed poop jokes, that improving our lives hinges not on our ability to turn lemons into lemonade, but on learning to stomach lemons better. Human beings are flawed and limited—"not everybody can be extraordinary, there are winners and losers in society, and some of it is not fair or your fault." Manson advises us to get to know our limitations and accept them. Once we embrace our fears, faults, and uncertainties, once we stop running and avoiding and start confronting painful truths, we can begin to find the courage, perseverance, honesty, responsibility, curiosity, and forgiveness we seek.There are only so many things we can give a f**k about so we need to figure out which ones really matter, Manson makes clear. While money is nice, caring about what you do with your life is better, because true wealth is about experience. A much-needed grab-you-by-the-shoulders-and-look-you-in-the-eye moment of real-talk, filled with entertaining stories and profane, ruthless humor, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is a refreshing slap for a generation to help them lead contented, grounded lives.

Trust your instincts. It's your God-given weapon.

What would you like your demeanor to be like?Would you like it to be like that of Dominic Royce?In Nightshade, even the Prime Minister feared him.

Perhaps we should take it as a subject to learn : SHOW NO EMOTIONS. WHATSOEVER. Anger, excitement etc. To be powerful, show no emotions.

Get yourself as prepared as you can whenever you're pre-informed about an event, a meeting or anything that will demand your attention.

Being on time or few minutes before time is an important characteristic of a high profile fellow.

Reading your textbook, academic articles and journals will broaden your understanding. Make shorter notes for yourself and then study your own notes.

READ, READ, READ

Listen to audio on the topic and write down some key notes on what they're saying that can help you better understand the subject you're learning.

LISTEN TO AUDIO

Make your own notes from what you have read in the textbook. Write questions and answer them later. These can be questions from your textbook or even questions that you think are likely to come up on the exam. This is a good way to test your understanding of what you learnt and help you remember it.

WRITE THINGS DOWN

You can read the topic out loud, or try to teach the topic to someone else.

TALK OUT LOUD

Mind maps are a great way to break down information into a simple diagram that can be remembered more easily. They're also a good way to test whether you know the subject matter. You can redraw the diagram and deliberately leave blanks to see can you fill them in again or whether you can discuss the topic in more detail by only looking at the key headings on the mind map.

MIND MAPPING

Use past exam papers. This is great for not only testing your knowledge but also familiarising yourself with the exam format and structure, which will help you settle into the exam much quicker and easier on the day. Use questions from the textbook.

TEST YOURSELF

To improve memory it is important to keep going back over information that you learn, using different formats of learning.

PRACTICE

Fueling the mind is an essential element of increasing focus and concentration. Research has indicated that students learn much better when they're well nourished. How often you eat can also have a powerful effect on your energy levels.

EAT PROPERLY

I have this idea, to bring together a group of people, probably students like me to see if we could become something more.I want to make a social group where we can help each other, where we can use whatever skills we have for a greater collective good.

Tips to Improve Memory (for students like me)

Everything they told us about personal growth is wrong. For years, people bombarded us with advice on achieving success, happiness, and fulfillment.Discipline is everything, they say. Always set clear goals, they scream. But what if I told you that much of this advice could misguide and hold you back?It’s time to rethink the conventional wisdom we consumed for years.

The Personal Growth Lie

I must admit it — I’ve suggested some of these ideas myself. They’re popular because they work (in certain situations). However, the danger lies in using them as one-size-fits-all solutions.I will debunk personal growth's top five myths in this article. Many of us have accepted those ideas as common sense. But they might be steering you in the wrong direction if applied rigidly.Whether you are nodding in agreement or shaking your head in disbelief, one thing’s for sure — you’ll never look at those truths the same way again.

Debunking The Top 5 Myths About Personal Growth

Personal growth has become a booming industry over the past few years. And if you want to improve your life, you will find thousands of books, articles, and social posts on how to do it.But how do you know all those things will work?Over time, my fellow creators normalized the strategies and techniques that were once innovative. All personal growth creators mentioned the Pomodoro Technique or the Pareto Principle at least once. So, most strategies have become common sense for everyone. But how can you find what works for your specific case?

The Conventional Wisdom Problem (1)

According to a study by the University of Scranton, only 8% of people achieve their New Year’s resolutions. Also, relying on sheer discipline often leads to burnout and lower productivity, according to the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology.More than 90% of people will never reach those achievements despite a strong belief in goal setting and discipline. And the oversimplified and counterproductive conventional wisdom is part of the problem.Are those beliefs helping you? Or are they holding you back?

The Conventional Wisdom Problem (2)

The Challenge

Generic advice is efficient because it is actionable, simple, and easy to remember. And although it might work in most situations, it often lacks the nuance needed to be effective in your specific case.Let’s take “think before you act,” for example. In most situations, this advice works. But what if you must brainstorm new ideas to improve your business? It can stifle innovation and <a href="https://cosmopolitanmindset.substack.com/p/10-common-overthinking-mistakes">lead to overthinking</a>.

Why Is Generic Advice Easy to Follow? (1)

It doesn’t mean generic advice is useless. However, personal growth is a field that focuses on the individual. It focuses on you. So you should find and use what works for you, not most people.Let’s look at the top five myths about personal growth that I will try to debunk now. As I said, they are not wrong. They are only popular ideas you must approach in other ways.These ideas will help you become more flexible and achieve your goals faster. Here are the beliefs we will dissect — and possibly dismantle — together.

Why Is Generic Advice Easy to Follow? (2)

I am a discipline entushiast. Discipline will allow you to ignore your motivation and keep going until you reach your goals. Or, at least, that’s what I love to think. But it’s not always true.Being disciplined means sticking to a habit until you reach your goal (and possibly even afterward). But research proved you will never keep a habit if it doesn’t give you joy and rewards.Ayelet Fishbach speaks about this in her inspiring TED Talk. She says that motivation requires you to change your situation or how you think about it. Otherwise, you will abandon your goals, even if you are disciplined.

Myth#1 — Discipline over Motivation.

Discipline is not enough. Only discipline and motivation together will help you to reach your goals. And to keep your motivation high, you can change your situation or how you think about it.According to science (and Fishback), your motivation is higher at the beginning and end of a goal because you are excited when you start a new project or when you are about to finish it. So, building many short goals is better than yearly goals that take months to accomplish.

Rethink: Motivation Plays Its Role

What are clear goals? Nobody knows.When you set a goal, generic advice says it should be simple. It should tell you what to do and how to finish it fast. But is this always the best decision?Research from Harvard Business Review indicated that <a href="https://hbr.org/2012/12/consider-not-setting-goals-in">overly rigid goals can lead to a narrow focus</a>. You might miss opportunities because of them.Also, focusing on one goal will create unnecessary pressure. It will increase your anxiety and stress. And you may burn out.

Myth#2 — Always Set Clear Goals

Do you think entrepreneurs like Jeff Bezos and Steve Jobs succeeded because of specific goals? I have no doubts they used them. But that wasn’t their only strategy.They succeeded because of their ability to change and adapt to any circumstance. So, you have to learn when to pivot.Instead of always setting clear goals, try something new.

Rethink: Adaptability Is Better Than Simplicity (1)

<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Use tiered goals to remove the pressure you caused with your eagerness.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Forge DUMB Goals to loosen the stress.</li></ul>The myth of clear goals overlooks the importance of adaptability and spontaneity. Don’t let it take away the fun part of your life — your creativity, flexibility, and well-being.

Rethink: Adaptability Is Better Than Simplicity (2)

Think before you act is an old piece of advice. And it has been touted as the key to making good decisions and avoiding mistakes.However, too much thinking often leads to analysis paralysis. Overthinking is a double-edged sword when it becomes a habit.Doubt, anxiety, second-guessing — are you sure you want to deal with all of that?Entrepreneurs like Elon Musk are known for their Fail-Fast-Learn-Fast mentality. And if it worked for them, it might work for you.

Myth#3 — Think Before You Act

Never make permanent decisions based on temporary feelings.Here is what I would say if I had to rewrite this myth.In all other cases, you can trust your guts more. And if you fail, you can always learn from that and try again.Trust your instincts. Embrace spontaneity. And don't be afraid of making mistakes.

Rethink: Failures Are The Best Lessons

You never know you have found your purpose until you find it.I support purposeful lives. But you can’t just ask people to find their purpose. They have to search for it.I spent most of my life writing. I started with poetry in elementary school. Then, I tried songwriting in middle and fantasy narrative in high school. I built a few blogs — I can’t remember how many. And I forged two newsletters.But do you think I knew what my purpose was until recently? No, I didn’t. It became a purpose when I understood I would get back to writing no matter how hard I failed.

Myth#4 — Find Your Purpose In Life

Explore every possibility — there is no other way of understanding what you want to become in life.J.K. Rowling didn’t set out the purpose to become a world-renowned author. She followed her curiosity and passion and didn't care about the setbacks. And she found her purpose.The find your purpose myth assumes that purpose is a fixed destination you already know. But it’s neither of those things.<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">You never know it.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">And it can always change.</li></ul>

Rethink: Explore Every Possibility

The misconception here stands in how people behave around this buzzword. Many think that adopting a growth mindset is enough to guarantee success. But Dwek herself clarified that a growth mindset requires constant effort, discomfort, and failure.Think about a student who struggles with math. Positive thinking alone will not help him. He would need guidance and detailed advice. But mostly, he has to do exercises and fail them.It’s not about the attitude — it’s about the action, feedback, and helpful growth conditions.

Myth#5 — Develop A Growth Mindset

A growth mindset is powerful. And you should have one if you want to become successful. But it’s not a magic solution. You must pair it with the right strategies, support systems, and realistic goals.True personal growth requires effort, <a href="https://cosmopolitanmindset.substack.com/p/building-grit-how-to-fight-life-challenges">resilience </a>, and a supportive environment. It is not a belief — it’s a practice.

Rethink: Success = Effort + Resilience

Now that you know why these personal growth myths are wrong, it’s time to do something about it.

Time Management

Most of the time, people's reactions reflect their own issues, not yours. Realizing this can be the first step toward not taking things personally.

Understand It's Not About You

Know your triggers. By understanding what makes you sensitive, you can work on desensitizing yourself and reacting calmly.

Build Self-Awareness

Separate your self-worth from external opinions. Remember, your value isn't dictated by others' thoughts.

Practice Emotional Detachment

When faced with criticism, pause and reflect before responding. This helps in reducing the emotional impact.

Learn to Respond, Not React

Try to understand the other person's perspective. Often, their behavior is a result of something deeper.

Empathy Goes a Long Way

See criticism as an opportunity to grow rather than a personal attack. It shifts your focus from defense to improvement.

Develop a Growth Mindset

Protect your emotional space by setting clear boundaries. This helps in reducing the chances of taking things to heart.

Set Boundaries

Counter negative comments with positive affirmations about yourself. This reinforces your self-esteem.

Engage in Positive Self-Talk

Keep your goals and values at the forefront. This focus will help you stay grounded and unaffected by minor setbacks.

Remember Your Purpose

Engage with people who uplift and support you. Their positive influence will help you stay resilient.

Surround Yourself with Support

Stay present and aware of your emotions. Mindfulness helps you recognize when you're starting to take things personally and allows you to refocus.

Practice Mindfulness

"Your worth is not determined by the opinions of others, but by the strength of your inner voice."
